" Hereditary bondsmen knew ye not YTbo ¦ should be free , themselves must strike the blow ? - S . ' 3 , —If your adopted motto ; if the war song of joar Tress ; if the language of defiance used by you ¦ when " Young Ireland" responded to joor appeals to her conrage and her strength ; if jour assurance that the Irish people could alone work out their country ' s salvation , implied nothing more than mere political flatulency , why nse them 1 If yon meant to eonrej a belief in Ireland ' s son ' s cau&bilvtY ,
to fight rheir own battle ^ yonr policy was justifiable ; bnt if , as we now learn from your altered iaencs . that it is Orangemen , Protestants , Whigs , and Liberals , who must " strikethe blow"for Irish liberty , while the Shiels , the Fi'zsimons , the O'Dirvers , the Finns , and the young O'ConneHs fold their arms in calm neutrality , while Ireland ' s battle rages and her energetic people fill the posts of danger , to the end that placemen may reap the spoil , ihen better that you had proclaimed your country ' s weakness and faction's potency , before you had engendered so much , hate between the Catholic and Orange unionists .

And vel these are the parties whose co-operation joa sow s ? ek to deliver Catholic Ireland from the foul and bloody gra < p ef the pollard Law Church , and the xyranny of their landed usurpers .

You are aware that when you were weak and in trouble , the people cf England and Scotland held " Eocster meetings" in favour of Ireland and Repeal . You know that reports and resolutions Wtre sent from important mcf-f . ngs at Edinburgh , ilanchester , London , Lttds , Newcastle , and numerous other towns , in favour of Ireland ; and that yonr time-serving , truckliEg Pres burked tsem , It- ' , yen should appear to have strength enough without entering into a suicidal and
anti-Irish s'liance with Ireland's bitterest , mos ; uncompromising , nnrelenriug , and unforgiving enemies . The English people feel that you have arrested the march of Democracy dnrins tie vrhole period of your alliance with tha Whigs ; and that you boasted of it on yonr trial : si ; d yet thty abstained from censuring you , lest they niight strengthen the hands of Ireland ' s enemies , snd injure Ireland ' s cause . Tie Wnigs themselves discovered , but too late , that the rock ifcej had spli ; upon was reliance on the servile support of the Irish liberal placehunting members , in preference to popular approval ; * ud the people also know that any strengthening of tha ; alliance would add to Whig barbarity , and increase Y > ~ h ig disregard for popular opinion .

boasted of having killed Chartism—the mon 3 ter who said that his whole heart was Irish ? Now , suppose twhich would be just as reasonable ) that the walk of a Chartist hall , were adorned with the portrait of Chief Justice Pennyfather—the Lord deliver us ! where would yon find words to express your horror ! ]! Is ' ow , Sir , if Irish principle is not to differ from all other principle , just allow mo to ask you a few plain qnestiou 3 . Baron Rolfe is a Whig Judge ; and by his honour , his sense of right , and love of justice , saved me and fifty-eight Others from at least
three * yeara' imprisonment . But , suppo .-e , enraptured aa we all were with this the first , and only , act of simple justice that out party had received , that instead of honouring the "ju * t Judge , " we had clamoured for the restoration of his party to power , what , I ask , in such a case , would have been our fate , when tried by honest English opinion ! Or , suppose that I had procured situations for 2-- > aleu 3 Chartist 3 by my own prostitution to s ruling faction ; and suppose , the cause missed their aid and co-operation when preparing for another onslaught against injustice ; and suppose that , instead of finding them at their old posts , they were found neuter , or opposed
to-u ? , what , O wha ; , would have been the verdict of public opinion upon me , the destroyer of their usefulness , and the weakener of our party ? And yet sou have done the very thing ! You have clamoured for the restoration of a party upon the paltry ground that you haTe received a simple act of justice at the hands of three Whig Judges . Is the administration of justice to be thus defiled by the pollution of party bias ? Your pelicy should be anything but complimentary to three high-minded lf-gal functionaries , who must be supposed to prefer the sterling reward due to judicial integrity to the prospect of party remuneration .
1 think that you were illegally tried , and illegally convicted , and therefore uijuniy imprisoned ; and I feel assured that the reward of having released you from bondage is all that Lord Decman will rfquire ; while 1 fear , that sudden adulation of Whiggery being the in : mediate fruits of an honest judgment , will make men think that Lord Cotienham would prefer the oiSce of Whig Cnancellor with £ 14 , 0 ' U a year , and rank and patronage , to bis retiring salary . Whigs do not relish the " otium cum dignitate . " Again , evil thinkers maj suppose that the " canny Scot , 'Lord Campbell , -with his whole ikish beabt , would prefer £ Z 000 a-year , wiih rank , and
patronage , and pickings , ior the young ci ? aus , to the chilling expectancy of reversionary half-pay , contingent on the death of a seasoned old twig . How consolatory to both Noble Lords to change places with their Tory opponents I In truth , Sir , 1 much fear that such a result as your two friends exchanging their cold seats of opposition for the warm woolsacks of England and Ireland , would take thogilt of judicial purity off the Whig gingerbread , and would cast a fresh cluud of fallibility over your own legal acumen' ! thus changing condemnation of the real offenders into suspicion of your liberators . Why , Sir , the shake of Lord Burleish ' a bead was nothing in importance compared to the magic of this triple nod of Whiggery .
I have asked you to give over money-grubbing : and now I will tell yoa my reason . 3 d February , 1 S 39 , a middle-class Chartist movement was hatched in England . It was represented by a convention of fifty delegates , two-thirds of whom weremere Whigs And money-grubbers . We started with an exchequer of nearly £ M > uO . As long as it lasted there was nothing like Chanism : but as soon as it drew to an ead , ail sorts of excuses were fabricated to get rid of the odious principle , and to insure a fresh political pap . Some were suckled by a Whig corporation ; others fliw to Ami Corn Law Leaguism : others
began to prey apon the country : and all denounced Chartism for its poverty . Since then it has become a purer and a holier principle , thriving better on mental sustenance than on sordid pelf . The principles of Chartism are the same now as in 1839 : they are advocated and supported in a more able manner . The very fellows who deserted and abandoned the cause , were the most violent while they were paid ; and the most hostile when we became poor . Yon have had enormons funds and free scope in the Press to aid you—and you abandon your principles . We have been left peDnyless , unnoticed , persecuted .
abused , taunted ; and our principles have flourished and still live green in the heart of every lover of his country . Y es , Sir , notwithstanding the foulest , the most untiring , and unscrupulous endeavours to withhold the streHgth of Chartism from the world ; in defiance of all and every means used for our destruction , we still lire and thrive ; our glorious principles , undefined , unsullied , and uncontaminated by the grotesque exhibitions of loyalty , and disgusting and unmanly professions of Queen-worship , have stood the shock of friend and foe : and , " lay not the flattering unction to your soul , " that we are prepartd , at your request , to draw the reeking dagger from
the breast of whiggery to plunge it into the beating heart of Chartism . . No , Sir ; I have had one man's share of toil ; 1 have had more than any man's share of persecution , and suffering , and anguish , and woe , and tribulation ; and like the fond mother who Iove 3 her most helpless offspring best , all has bnt made me hug the outcast closer to my heart . I found it a dwarf—I have assisted in making it a monster that is dearer to me than the whole world ' s wealth . I would dio ten thousand deaths rather than see one Lsir of its head hurt . It would kill me to see it strangled in its manhood by the cold hand of the assassin . Yoc shall Xi . vER kill it while I
lite ! What , Sir ; do you pretend not to know that I have severed every connexion most dear to me ; that I have lived the life of a roving exile aDd outcast , banished from my country by your tyranny , and from society by my love of freedom ; that I have vowed allegiance to the immortal Bishop Doyle's faith— " that my hatred of tithes shall be as lasting as my love of jii&lice "; that I have sworn upon my country ' s altar to avenge the wrongs that she has suffered upon the heads of her oppressors ; that I have refused to be your tool , and refused to sign your- declaration of confidence in Lord Althorpe , while yon paid him homage , though his lip yet
trembled with the most dreadful imprecations against Ireland ; that I have bearded you for Ireland ' s sake , and value life but to see my country free ! Can yon believe me to be very poor , with the gates of political prostitution ever open to me , and yet suppose that I will tamely allow you to make another sale of Irish liberty 1 Can yon suppose that I , as an Irishman , will submit to the double infliction of domestic jobbery and Imperial tyranny being imposed on my country as the prico of her devotion , to the end that between two bloated , glutted , satisfied factions , a third may fatten upon her people's crednlity , on the pledge to redress the very grievance which your truckling policy would create ]
Again , I tell you , that whatever freaks fresh mariyrdom may procure toleration for during a moment of excitement , you mn 3 t make your election between the bush and M about the bush . " Y ' ou cannot now " run with the hare and hold with the hound f you cannot hold good faith with Leinster and Mabony , and
the anti-unionists ; with Maunsel and the Protestant ascendancy perambulators ; with Gra ' y Porter , and the Federalists ; with Charlemont s nd the Whigs ; with Russell and finality Liberals ; with the Chronicle and the stock-jobbers ; and with Ibelasb a >\ d the Jki 3 h . No , Sir ; if it ) s impossible to serve two masters , how much mor e so to serve seven , especially when all are puJ _ iing ia different directions ?

WAKEF 1 ELD . On Thursday night all classes of Wakefield had a grand treat . Air . O'Connor having announced his intention to visit uvalthough the notice was very short , a few working men ventured to take the Theatre ; and they were not disappointed , as tha meeting more thanjrealized our best anticipations . Shortly after eight o ' clock Mr . O'Connor entered fcbe Theatre , which was crowded , accompanied by Mr . Ross , of Leeds . Both gentlemen were received with the most enthusiastic applause . Our towDsman , Mr . C . Brook , was called to the chair , and after txlaining the object of the meeting , introduced Mr . David " Ross , who dwelt at
confiderable length upon the wrongs of Ireland , and in so glowing a strain of eloquence and feeling , that he appeared to have made a very risible impression upon trig audience . When he concluded , he introduced Mr . O'Connor , who delivered a most powerful and effective addrtss of nearly tivo hours' duration , in whioh ho fully convinced his hearers chat no change , except the Charter aud Repeal can benefit Ireland . Mr . Ross next moved an excellent resolution ( similar to tho one adopted at Leeds ) , which was carried by acclamation . The boxes were principally occupied with Free Trader ? , a tribe with which our town abounds , and who , although evidcnily stung to the quick by some of Mr . Feargus O'Connor ' s remarks , never attempted any refutation of his arguments . At the conclusiou of the proccediuga a
hearty vote of thanks was given to Messrs . O'Connor and Ross , and the meeting separated , more than pleased—delighted with the proceedings . Mr . O'Connor's visit was the first occasionu upon which the Cnarti ? ts cleared their expencea , being sometimes nearly ^ € 2 out of pocket ; while upon this recent visit of Mr . O'Counor we have been enabled to clear all expences , aud have a profit to divide with tho Executive . Even the Tory journal admits that tho house was a bumper , and that Mr . O'Connor delivered a most eloquent address , which was , rapturously applauded throughout ; and it also tclla us that Mr . O'Coiuior looks ten years older than when the eilitor last saw him , twelve months since . The visit has left us upon our legs , and the cause upon its feet once more in Wake field , which all parties are compelled to admit the sincerity and ability of Mr , O'Connor .
BRADFORD . On Saturday night last , Mr . 0 Connor paid us a visit upon very short notice j and the Odd Follows ' Hall being previously engaged from eight o ' clock of the same evening , we had no alternative but to annonnce our meeting for hulf-past six , with every prosptct of a failure . We were agreeably disappointed , however , for long btfore that hour , the gallery , for admission to Which tWopencB was charged , was entirely Hard , and persons of all cliases were fast Qjwins , into the body . Shortly before seven o ' clock , Mr . O'Connor made bis appeaiance , and was loudly cheered . Mr . Smith was ununimouily appointed to the chair , and opened the proceedings by introducing Mr . Goorge White . He spoke for a fen minutes in his usual and straightforward strain , and then made way for Mr . O'Connor , ¦ who , in the opinion of every person present , delivered the most impressive and satisfactory address ever delivered in the town of Bradford . There wtre a
large number of Irishmen present ; and the subject being a Kepeal of the UnioD , the speaker bandied it to their entire satisfaction , showing the benefits th-it would result to both countries from its accomplishment , and that the ptople of both countries could aluDe effect it . He exposed the Federal humlmg so clearly , and in EuchJ a convincing manner , that he was fnqiently interrupted by shouts from groups of Irishmen mutinied on the -forms , and exclaiming , "We won't have it , we'll die first ; we'll ha- » e Kepeal . " There vtkTB . many of the middle classes present , who exptcted that Central Jackson , the Commander-in-chief of the O'Connor pea-shooters , would have a pop at the Lion ; but alas ! though bis Generalship was present , not a pea was fired . Mr . O'Connor was in the height of bia element and of his subject , wbich be appeared very much to delicht In , when it was announced
to the great regret of all , that it was half-past tight , half an hour beyond the stipulated time , and which was met by shouts of " Go on , go en . " But he said faith must be kept with those who were to follow as well as with the national creditor . A unanimous vote of thanks was then given to Mr . O'Connor , and another to the chairman , after which Mr . O'Counor promised to make amends for the disappointment by giving Bradford another night within a fortnight , and the meeting broke up better satisfied than ever we saw tbe public with any meeting we ever had in our town . It is no compliment to Mr . O'Connor , but the mere naked truth , to declare that be has given a fresh impetus to the canse here , that has astonished our foes and delighted the whole Chartist body . We never knew our Irish friends to feel or express so much satisfaction in any proceeding since tbe cummencment of our agitation .

BIRMINGHAM — On Sunday morning last Mr-Thomas Clark deliverod a spirited address on the pre . Bent state of , Ireland , ar , d the probability of Birmingham being made tbe centra of tbe new Whig Federal move , and declared it be the intention of himself ad brother Chartists to work night and day to prevent the people from being again deluded by the base and infamous faction who had exceeded even the Tories in the brutal ferocity of their administration .

Mr . Wedt then brought the case of the Executive under the consideration of the meeting , but could not blame them for it , as the Sheffield Chartists have always paid their fnota regularly : it was much » eKrftU-eJ th . it the country generally did not do their duty . A resolution was passed , that a month ' s contributions due , with the levy for the Victim fund , should be transmitted forthwith . It was next reaulved thai the
class leaders resume their duties forthwith , Brnl that each leader be furnished with a copy of the monthly balance sheet for the inspection of the members . A letter from Mr . Morling of Brighton , was next read , stating that some friends had commenced a subscription for the purpose of once more purchasing a pross for Mr . O'Brien , and bringing him forward as a democratic writer ; after a good dfal of discission , it was re-olved that the secretary write to Mr . Morling acquainting bun that owing to local pecuniary difficulties , the association , as an association , could not take up thy question at present , but they would make it as publicly known as pussible , and gladly receive subscriptions frum all parties , and forward them as speedily as possible . After some other business was transacted , thu meeting adjourned to Tuesday evening next .

Logan was called to the chair , . and introduced the lecturer to the meeting . Dr . M'Douall , who was received with great applause , delivered &u instructive and ekquent lecture upon the monopoly of land , legislation , and machinery ; showing that the monopoly of legislation was built upon the united influence of the monopolies of land and machinery . He maintained that tbo soil was created for the benefit of tbe -whole human race , and that it must beconit ) tuu
property of tho government , and held for the benefit of the whole people before any true political or social happiness could be attained . The worthy lecturer proved to the satisfaction of his audience that no benefit ever could be obtained by the labouring classes of society unless they were invested with the political rights laid down in the People ' s Charter . At the conclusion of the lecture , a long and friendly discussion ensued between the lecturer and Mr . Hatt 6 ry . Mr . Wheeler wound up the subject with some appropriate remarks .

Somejis" Town . —At the usual members' meeting of this locality en Tuesday evening last , botfen at Mr . Duddridge ' s , Tonbridge-street , Mr . Thomas Laurie in the chair ; it was prof ) sed , seconded , and carried , that ¦ We get up va H-atmonic meeting , tho pio : eeds to go to the support of the Executive . SCARBOROUGH . —Mr . Kydrf , of Glasgow , delivered two lectures in this place , on the evenings of Thursday and Friday , the 3 rd and 4 th inst . The first lecture was delivered in the large room of the Union Inn : subject—" The Monopoly of the Anti-Monopolists . " He said on no subject did there exist a greater amount of ignorance than on the question of monopoly . The people , long taught to look on the holders of the soil as tbe unjust retainers of the property of their
forefathers , justly styled this class monopolists . But this use of the term was too exclusive . A class existed in England , who styled themselves " Anti-Monopolists , ' at the bead of which body were Messrs . Cobden , Bright , Brooks , and Co . But , on investigation , it appeared to him that this class were England ' s greatest monopolists—nay , the very object of this party was monopoly . In the first instance , these gentlemen proposed Free Trade with all tho world ; and for what purpose ? Their answer is , that we may possess all the markets of the world , as the mart in which to sell our " slave " -marfe cottons and wooll-ns . And what means this , but a monopoly of all the world ' s trado ? YettbeBe ftdosophtn called themselves Anti . Monopolists ! Tbe heads of this class have now a monopoly of our home trade . Previous to the recent great extensions of mechanical and chemical power , our
manufactures wore divided among our population . Each village had ita own manufacturers . The daughters spun , the hrotbsrs wove , and the father took the nianufactnred commodity on his shoulder to the market -, and by their united industry they kept want and the fear of want from their dwelling . Now , John Bright and Co ., point ! to Manchester , Leeds , Bradford , < &c and exclaim , " Look at our immense wealth ! eee our large mills ! we are England ' s greatness ! " Sometimes these wiseacres , 'in { the plenitude of their wisdom , say ' the landlords and agricultural population owe us their gratitujde for taking their surplus population into our \ towns ; nay , they , go further and say machinery causes more employment . Now he ( Mr K . ) had looked at ; their large towns and gone back into the country to look ' at the small ones . He found In the latter the village ' blacksmith , tailor , saddler , innkeeper , schoolmaster , &e . but he looked in vain for the manufacturer of :
linenB , cottons , and woollenB , or if by chance he found anything of the kind , it was work done by ageney , where tbe labourer worked for lower prices , giving the manfacturer and agent an additional profit : pre- 1 fering the free air of the village to the smoky atmos- 1 pbere of a manufacturing town . But where now is the spinning-jenny interest of the village ? Gone . Eighty yeare ago it existed ; where 1 b it now ? It is moaopa- j I ; a ? d by the anti-monopoly gentry !

There I find Richard Cobden ' s mouslen de lanes , John Brigbt ' s cottons , Garth Marshall ' s linens , ticketed cheap , very \ cheap ; sold by a draper who says " no monopoly ;" manufactured by a millocrat who says " no monopoly ;"' looked at through the window by a ragged skeleton j whose labour they have monopolized , and given to a ' fundholder , whose income they have doubled ! This was an answer to those brawlers who declared machinery and concentration the palladium of England ' s glory . No argument was more used , or more fallacious , than that our manufacture of cottons , woollens . Ac .
was our staple wealth . The weaver waa as essential as the spinner ; the tailor and shoemaker , « either . All the handicraftsmen were necessary , as atoms of the great whole , and no one trade under a wise organizition is leas essential than another . The reaaen these no-monopoly parties had erected so great a monopoly was , that their branch of manufactures happen to be the branch to which the mechanical improvements of Hargreaves and Atkwright were more particularly applied . Had the same power been applied to shoeinaking and tailoring the fortunate followers of tbe gentler crafts would have declared their professions " England's glory "; and likely enough , we Bhenld have bad a chattering Quaker from Rochdale declaring lasts and lapstones were the greatest interest of our country .

understand this monopoly , he would refer tb&m to a few plain facts . Prior to 1097 spinning was performed by hand ; bat after tbe improvements of Hargreaves and Arkwright , the spinning-frame earried—first , 12 spindles ; then 2 i d © ; then 48 do . ; then 144 do . ; then 324 do . ; then « 48 do . ; and than 1 . 028 do . ; and now , since the introduction of doubie decking , or ; attending to two frames at once , which in some cases carry 2 04 4 spindles , each spindle going with three times the speed it couM by hand , we have one man performing as much work by power as 6 , 132 raen conld by hand : yet the spinner who worked by hand couM earn a great deal more wages than the spinner who WOrka by Steam ! Biinns in \\\ a History of tbe Cotton Trade , informs U 9 th it one man an produce as rnui-h
yarn as 25 , 300 men conld have dane under the old system . As in spiDning , so in weaving ; one engine will set 1 , 000 looms to w » rk j one of these looms will mike as much cloth as four looms worked by hand . One female superintends ueTeral ' looms , merely to supply full bobbings and mend threads thit happen to break in the process of weaving : ) this one woman did the work of of 12 or 14 men at teasfc . Who were thu partie * who enj iyt'd this monopoly ? Messrs . G-jtt end Marshall , of Leeds , kept men for the express purpose of improving tuacbii ery and dispensing with manual labour , bo that they may rob the labourer of his only fortune—an honourable maintenance by bis labour . Mr . Kydd proceeded in a similar course of argument for two hours , and stated clearly tbe statistics of nearly ali
trades , specially mentioning ia machine now in operation in Washington , thut can mould 30 , 000 bricks by the power of a single horse ; this was " no monopoly " in bricks ; but how fared it with the brick makers who spent years in learning brick making as a trade ? It monopolised their mums ofi living and left them to starve . On Friday evening , the meeting was adjourned to the market place , and was = the lirgi-st Chartist meeting ever held in Searboro ' . Mr . Kidd lectured on Government and was listened to ^ attentively . At tbe conclusion , he announced his intention of returning to Scotland by Edinburgh .

LlBKRAI . lTV OF TUE " LIBERAL" PRESS OF GLASGOW . —Some two month .-. ' ago a thorough-going VVbi « in th" person of the lato Sir John Maxwell , of Pollock , died , when out caine the whole gang in pathetic leaders ouwailing * ' tho loss which society had sustained in the death of Sir John Maxwell . ' ' The fellows knew they were speaking the most arrant nonsense , when they spoke of the public services of this lip professor of liberality . The man never in his life had been tho means ( beyond being a tolerabe good farmer ) of conferring any benefit , either of a public or private , nature , upon hia country . On the 24 th ult ., one of the most public men that ever was connected with tho press of Glasgow , and as a private citiz-u a man of spotless character ,
but an unbending democrat , Robert M'Gavin , Lsq ., of Tup Mall , died ; but the Liberal press of Glasgow were silent as to tho death of this good maD ; the reason is obvious . Robert M'Gavin ' s name , while a member of the Town Council , was a terror to the Whigs and Tories , in short ho was an enemy to every thing bearing the stamp of duplicity , hence the disgraceful silence of ; tho " establishment . " The Welli . nuton Totimonul . —This long talked of statue ot the hero of Waterloo , was completed this day ( Friday ) , It stands in front of the New Exchange , Qieen Street . jAs to the manner in which the artist has performed his duty , I can only eay that Bomo of those whp have seen the living Duko , say that the mettle Duke is a tolerable good figure ; not so the hor . e , which on the whole , is a complete distortion . However , my business is not
with tho lustre of the artist , but rather with the reception his Graco has received at the hands of the peoplo of England . Everything was done to give eclat to to the concern . The old pensioners , now fully equipped , and the troops stationed in the district , were marched ; though tho town ; the comm ^ sionera of police likewise walked in procession . The statute was covered with white cotton cloth . At two o ' clock all being ready sheriff Allison began to address the troops in front , and was followed by Provost Lumsden , during which the white cloth was raised , and the Duke fully exhibited to view . The troops and a few gentlemen in front , and within the enclosure attempted to raise a oheer , but instrad of cheers a regular volley of hisses rung about their ears , j So much for the ignorance of the ptople of Glasgow . All thauks to them . They understand the value of Dukes . ROCHDALE . — Mr . Ambrose Hirst gave two lectures last Sunday , wbich gave grtat satisfaction .

Dublin , Oct . t > . —At twenty-five minutes before four o'clock this evening , the bell of St . Audeon ' g church intimated to the citizens the melancholy fact , which had been for some days apprehended , of the death of Lady Heytt- ^ bury . A very general and paintui degree of interest was manifested amongst all classes , when it became known that her illness
had assigned a dangerous character . This evening-, at twenty minutes before four o ' clock , her Excellency breathed her la&t , at the Vico-reg&l Lod ^ e , in the 1 ) « aix Park , in the prosence of his Excellency Lord Hcytes-bury , his brother ihe Honourable E . H . A'Court , M . P . for Taraworth ; her Excellency ' s son , the Hon . W . A'Court Holmes , M . P . for the Isle ot Wight ; the Hon . Miss A'Court , daughter , and Mrs . Peunett , sisttr to the late Barouess . " Her Excellency had arrived but a short time in Ireland , when she was attacktd by the fatal illness , gastric fever , Hnder the tffocts of which she so long and painfully lingered .
Tho late Baroness was second daughter of tha late Honourablo William Henry Bouverie , and grand daughter to the late Earl of Radnor ; she was born in 17 o 3 . In the courte of the afternoon , the bellg of St . Warburgh ' a and Audeoo'd churches tolled the usual melancholy peal . It is'iim-nded that the remains of Lady Heytesbury bhould remain in state for two er three day 3 previous to their being conveyed to England foe interment . Rlm ;> ured Resignation of Lord Hftte-bury . — It is very generally stated that Lord Heycesbury ,
in conssquenoe of the domestic affliction under which he is rrow suffering , has determined to resign tbe high and important office to which ho has been so recently appon . ied . It is understood that his Excellency , on the outlet , had been very reluorant to undertake the dutii-, 8 ot' viceroy in this country , and that it was only on the earnest solicitation of Sir Robert Peel that he accepted the office . I noticed last week a Tory rumour—an utterly absurd speculation 1 considered jf—that Lord Ellenborough is ; e be sent to Irelaad as Lord--Lieutenant .
